2017 Map of Hazard Lake

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Grass Mountains and Lava Ridge define the watershed. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of alpine waters, including Big Hazard Lake, Morgan Lake, and the uniquely named Coffee Cup Lake. The 2017 data illustrates a network of recreational access points such as the Hidden Lake Loop and the Big Hazard ATV trail, which navigate the complex topography between Bascom Canyon and Hard Creek Basin. Geodetic boundaries for t22n r2e and adjacent townships intersect near Hard Butte, marking the survey divisions of this remote Idaho backcountry. The map also captures the transition between Idaho and Valley Counties, providing a clear record of the drainage patterns from Vance Creek and Hazard Creek as they descend from the high meadows.
